Friend took me here for the first time. Relaxing atmosphere, humorous staff Chili Colorado was a bit dry for me, rice and beans could of used have been a bit more favorable but with salt and salsa it was delicious! Definitely go back and try the chili rellenos.

The owner, Yeci, and her amazing team never fail to impress. They are so friendly and want to make sure everything you order is perfect for you! We dine in often, but this weekend ordered a taco bar style of catering for a party. The food was SO good, came with everything we needed and more plus amazing portions! They offered to bring it to the party for us even! I will definitely use them for catering again in the future!

Perfect score for a very attentive and kind wait staff! Cannot complain about the quality of service! However, there is a significant decline in the quality of food: wedding sauce was too salty and thick in consistency, same with the red enchilada sauce. The consistency is similar to that of food that’s been sitting in a crockpot too long. My heart hurts as I write this about what used to be one of my favorite local Mexican restaurants since I was a kid.

I recently visited La Mornita while visiting CA, after a 2 year absence. It looks like the business sold. They are waiting for a liquor license to be issued. The staff were very friendly and apologetic and service was good. The quality was not the same and there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. Very unusual for the lunch hour. I was disappointed and I hope things improve for the new owner.

La Morenita on Coffee Road was an old favorite for years, but it is no longer even an option. The food was sadly disappointing - stale chips, under-salted food, and under-cooked rice made for an inedible lunch. We got our to-go orders with no utensils/napkins, which we only discovered after arriving at our destination. The atmosphere was sterile - white walls, lacking colorful decor, and dead. So sad that this place has changed completely.

La Morenita is our favorite Mexican restaurant. We’ve been going there for many, many years. They start you off with some bottomless chips and salsa that you can’t stop eating. I absolutely love that salsa. They have many great dishes but I’m someone who always orders the same thing because I love it that much. I get beef enchiladas with red sauce and I get extra red sauce on the side because it’s that good! The best red sauce I’ve ever had. Mix it with the Mexican rice too and yummm. Service has always been great. Yecenia is our favorite waitress, she’s been there for years and she’s always so friendly and stops to chat with us to see how we’ve been doing. I don’t live in Modesto anymore so I sadly don’t get to come as often but I always make sure to stop by whenever we are visiting!

Great spot for solo diners — felt comfortable and welcome.
Best Mexican restaurant in Modesto, beats every other shitty mexican restaurant closeby. The food is authentic & well made and flavorful. Has a very homey old school vibe to it which i very much enjoy!! My favorite is their shrimp tacos & mole enchiladas!! The mango salsa they make is delicious as well!! Also the owner makes you feel welcomed like he actually cares!! AMAZING owner and very friendly and charismatic!! Every other Mexican restaurant owner needs to take example from T as i literally would choose to come back here time and time again just for they way he cares and treats his customers. He also works despite being the owner and hops behind the bar and makes drinks. Very recognizable person, outstanding coming from someone who could choose to be an owner and just watch but he chooses to immerse himself in the business and get to know his people which i love. So overall Good food supporting a locally owned business & great integrity. 10/10 recommend and if you havent met T ask! Hes always happy to say hi!!

I’ve came to La Morenita many times and i had my friend stop and pick me up a wedding meal with steak and bring it to me to Los Banos. I’m literally appalled that I literally counted six strips of steak meat in my meal. I didn’t order a kids meal and you gave me 2 tortillas I can’t even use both because you guys served me a kids meal for my $39 for this meal salsa and cabbage. I’m so confused on what I paid almost $40 for. You guys should really be ashamed of yourselves for this it deserved and image to be posted. La Morenita do better!!

I had cod fish tacos, they were good. I wish you have more options for sides instead just rice and beans, how about nopales or steamed veggies?
